This. In some cases top defense officials appeared more concerned about the rising political power in iraq than the threat of the Islamic State itself. You asked about the battle to create the presence of iranian advisers on the ground. That is something that we are watching closely and it is something that is concerning to us that has been disruptive to the inclusiveness and so believe me i share your concerns and we are watching closely. Lou tonight we will be talking with christopher hell about which poses the greatest risk in history. And also tonight someone in the Obama White House took Ashton Carter to the woodshed. Last week the new defense secretary displayed a remarkable independent streak, saying that the white house had politics in mind when it asked congress for a threeyear long authorization of military force to fight the Islamic State today secretary carter was mindfully focused on the Obama Administration talking points. Among those we will take up with the fox news military analyst general jack keane and for the past week democrats have been blasting an open letter by republican senators to irans leaders, warning them that the emerging nuclear deal would be strictly between president obama. Today john kerry seemingly agreed. With respect to the talks we have been clear from the beginning that we are not negotiating a legally binding plan. We are negotiating a plan that will have in it a capacity for enforcement and we dont even have diplomatic relationships with iran right now. The senators letter erroneously asserts that this is a legally binding plan and it is not. Lou secretarys stunning admission, coming after slamming Senate Republicans over their letter to iran. My reaction to the letter was utter disbelief and it purports to tell the world and if you want to have any confidence in your dealings with america they have to negotiate for 535 members of congress. My first guest is among those 535, he is one of the 47 republicans, in fact, who signed the letter to the iranian leaders, joining us tonight senator james inhofe chairman of the Public Works Committee and a member of the Armed Services committee. Its good have you with us. Are you absolutely shocked that senator john kerry would say that all of this negotiation with the administration undertaking with the iranians, that the chinese and the russians would not be a legally binding agreement . I think that i quipping shock long time ago. You are talking about one or two people and one reason is you never hear the same story. All he has been talking about is how upset he is that 47 allies said before he had anything to do with this, it has to be ratified. And now we have john kerry on our side. Lou this is the first time to my knowledge that he has ever said such a thing at least publicly. And it just is to me i have to say to you that i was surprised and i was shocked by his statement. When you signed that letter, was the purpose to serve notice on the white house and the iranians simultaneously . That they have drawn a red line if one prefers about how far this president can go without consent and considerable acquiescence to the constitution . You and i have talked since 2007. The intelligence said that by 2015 iran would have the weapon and delivery. Welcome its 2015 now. So i appreciate general robert scales coming on a couple of nights ago and saying that the greatest threat is not isis but it is iran. We dont know how far along they are as they try to say that they do now but anytime you have them signing an agreement agreeing that we will bring back the leveraged that we have over them and in return they can still come up with this, it is something that is pretty scary. It is a very frightening thing and i hope that everyone in america including others heard the speech of Benjamin Netanyahu lou senator, you are plainspoken to your credit in my judgment. The fact of the matter is that this has remained throughout the principal enemy of the United States responsible for a third of our casualties and many of those in afghanistan as well. It is a state sponsor of terrorism as we continue to support those who are trying to destroy israel and to do so directly. What in the world why are we so eager to go to war against the Islamic State have not had the courage to go after the state that is a medical to all of our interests . We certainly need to do everything we can to stop them of course but the administration has always talked about iran and the new leadership so they can come to the table. But taking a look at other places i just got back from the ukraine at the time that there parliament came through for the first time and they elected a new parliament the first time in 96 years that they dont have one communist there and we have totally ignored what Vladimir Putin is doing whatever they had shown allegiance to the west and eyes. So iran is the most dangerous. We dont know how far along they are but by their own admission they were going to be there by 2015. Lou senator, as always its good have you with us. Senator james inhofe. Nato secretarygeneral today announcing that russia is still arming and training rebels separatist forces in Eastern Ukraine. I will not go into specific numbers but what i can confirm is that we have seen and still see a russian presence in support in Eastern Ukraine. We have seen the equipment forces and training. So russia is still in Eastern Ukraine and they have provided substantial support. And to respect them in agreement. See on the secretary general went on to say that the ceasefire remains fragile. But thats is clearly that it at least is in place. The ukraine will have to look elsewhere for help the Obama Administration today announcing it is sending 75 million of nonlethal aid to the ukraine including humvees and first aid kits and military ambulances and the package obviously stopped short of giving ukraine anything that would help ever tell the advances of the separatists. New sanctions targeting leaders and their alleged supporters in russia but the sanctions would only freeze assets of individuals and institutions on u. S. Property. Military Officials Say they found that they found human remains after the crash of an Army Helicopter in the waters off florida. Seven marines and four soldiers presumed dead are the chopper went down in heavy fog weather conditions have hampered the rescue and recovery operation. It is still being classified as search and rescue. Let me be very clear at this hour the priorities my priorities are search and rescue and for our soldiers and marines and secondly to take care of our families and we are doing both of those. Lou the special forces unit of camp lejeune in north carolina. And the victims are being held until their loved ones have been notified. Breaking news of his secret service scandal. President obama is aware of these new charges allegations of misconduct involving two secret service employees. The two of them are said to have driven a government car into the barricades outside the white house after drinking at a latenight party earlier this month. The Washington Post reported one of those involved is a top member of the president s protective detail. They have since been reassigned to nonoperational duties in the matter has been turned over to the Homeland SecurityDepartment Inspector general. We are coming right back. President obama chooses not to defend ukraine towards freedom. But local at lou defends secretary Ashton Carter endorsing the administrations threeyear Expiration Date and the president s request against the Islamic State. The Obama White House bringing him to heal. Todays remarks, had a reversal of this position but just last week. The president s proposed authorization affords us to reassess progress in three years time and provide the next president and congress the opportunity to reauthorize it if they find it necessary. To me this is a sensible and principled provision even though i cannot assure that the Counter Campaign will be completed in three years. Lou he said it was a political calendar more than a military assessment. Joining us now is a vice chief of staff military analyst general jack keane. Its good to have you with us. Ashton carter falling in line with the president s thinking now. Yes i think he ran smack into it. Congressional testimony has to be approved in the white house government officials are providing that. Im certain that they took issue with that testimony as they had in it his comments last week where he didnt believe the threeyear was necessary. So here we are. He has already changed his view points taking a change for the worse. This thing makes no sense. There is so little that seems to make sense of the decisions taken by the administration when it comes to the Islamic State and when it comes to iran. We are witnessing the assault by the iranian led forces two thirds as best we understand that. They are about to get to the city center and about to get it done. One of the implementations what are they . We have a media concern as to how the militia is going to behave because in the past they have committed genocide and it burned down peoples homes. The longrange implications as he suggests is a very serious one. This is them getting more influence. And what does that pretend for the future two militarily i believe that we have the capability to reclaim the territory that was lost to isis and then the issue becomes what is the political stability going to be like. The fact is that their influences growing and it has grown significantly. Back in january of 2014 when they came into iraq and invaded it they took the time at falluja and other parts the iraqis asked us to help and be refused. We never gave them any help until august. They were all in from the beginning airplanes landing on the ground this was a fullcourt press for them, just as it was to sustain the regime in syria with bashir ahmad. They are using that same playbook and they know what theyre doing, this is all about desiring to influence and control iraq as they do syria and lebanon and yemen itself very and. They are extending this influence through the middle east and it seems clear that all he would have to do is move another several divisions of their troops into iraq to forestall any possibility that u. S. Forces do we have valid that there would be no boots on the ground but as they put more boots there there is limited opportunity for significant roles for the u. S. Military is there not . Yes certainly. One of the things that will be discussed in this is a major victory in the first significant piece of territory that has been reclaimed sense isis took control and the other general say that we have the capabilities and we dont need anything from the americans that is something they said about this campaign and that will certainly be on the table. For discussion. Whether a senior iraqi general has made that decision remains to be seen and certainly we dont want that outcome because that will guarantee their decided influence over iraq. What they want is a stable but weak Central Government that is aligned with iran and not with the United States. That is what they are seeking here. Lou quickly lets turn to russia today announcing that it is what has gone from a conventional arms control treaty signed at the end of the cold war we are looking at administration. It is absolutely without question an abandonment of the ukraine. What are the implications for u. S. Power and presence and policy now . The United States, europe, they discuss these conventional arms and they also got into other discussions. They snub their noses here again and the facts are that the sanctions that the president has imposed they will have no impact on Vladimir Putin and no other sanctions have had any impact on him. The only thing that is infecting him as the price of oil. He has stiffed all spent all the sanctions and he is not going to be persuaded to do anything other than what he wants to do. Hes given up no territory, his troops are still there, theres no providing arms and training. Lou so the troops are staying and you have no answer to. All they have is rhetoric and People Movement of troops. We need to do Permanent Base realignment in Eastern Europe and we need to have some truly tough sanctions in place otherwise we are encouraging Vladimir Putin to challenge article five of nato most likely estonia would be the place that he would start. The article says if one country is attacked, all are attacked and they have to respond. Lou good to have you with us, always good to have you. Its time for a look at our online poll results. We asked about the motivation behind democrats complaining about the republican letter to iran. 55 felt that the democrats were generally unaware of American History including their roles in it. 35 thought that the democrats were lying.

Lou breaking news, state department has just released a report by Inspector General on state deputys email system. It is shocking in its conclusion. Report concludes that there is no central oversight of emails or the email system that many of the emails are not saved properly. Not saved at all. The report revealing that the state Department Employees in one year, wrote more than a billion emails. But fewer than 62,000 of those emails were retained. Maintained for official record of our state department. Stunning stunning. And curiously timed report as well. State department appears to be a separate government not just a separate department of government. A few thought on Hillary Clintons email controversy. Why she put her official email on a private server in her own home. I opted for convenience to use my personal email account which was allowed by the state department because i thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work, and my for personal emails instead of two. Two devices too much. Makes no sense when two phones are not much heavier than one these days or she could have a number of email accounts on one phone, as is often the case, politicians forget their previous statements, which dont always jive with the current statement. Just last month she admited to using multiple devices. I iphone or android. Iphone. Okay in full disclosure, and eye blackand a blackberry, down 3 anybody away. I am two steps short of a hoarder, i have a ipad, a mini irk paid,mini pad and iphone and a blackberry. Lou rendering contra directry her reasoning for agoing using a private server. Her secret mark for someone who claims not to throw anything away mrs. Clinton got rid of a lot of emails about half of 60 these from her personal server, hardly a digital hoarder. New york post dubs her the deleteer of the free world. They were personal, and you will have to take her word for it. Server contains personal communications from my husband and me, and i believe i have met all of my responsibilities and the server will remain private. Lou so she has spoken. But woops a problem. It turns out that husband and me line runs well afoul of president s claim he has sent two emails ever. And neither of president clintons emails was sent to email. Even mainstream liberal media is choking on nonsense, that is she trying to sell them about her email. Associated press filed a lawsuit against state department for emails and records with this latest disclosure, about no one retaining records that is going to have an interesting fate. Well keep close watch on it. From clintons tenure as secretary major issue such as bin laden raid, and nsa surveillance would have been interesting to look at, after requests have gone unfun unfulfilled. The ap also seeking correspondent from top aides including sheryl mills who get ready now not well so surprisely, they use their personal emails
